sometimes when my wacom goes whacky in messiah, it zooms in or out a massive amount and i loose my objects (i can no longer see them on screen). most of the time i have no idea where i am (in 3d space) and so dont know if i should be zooming in or out more.

is there a way i can auto fit the objects in my scene to the viewport? like XSI's Shift + a, or max's zoom selected?
so i could select an object in the item list and then have it fit to screen, thus fixing my problem :)

hello Layer 01 :)
in the active viewport hit a to center the current item.
you can also use the Center view to current object button in the right upper corner of the viewport.
afaik there is not a fit to viewport command. :sad:
please someone prove me i'm wrong.

yeah i've tried the "a" key. my extreme zoom (glitch?) knocks out everything, i dont even see the edit sphere on screen, so centering the object, sadly doesnt help much.
Note:
i can still see every other view normally btw.

i guess till i find a proper solution i'll just save the view in perspective so if it goes crazy i can just revert back to the saved view.

I second the gizmo update. Its a priority! J/K :scream:

The openGl needs a little work too.

Oh, and that flickering bothers me too.

Oh oh oh... the rounded buttons/interface needs update too. Something simple and elegant would work (a la modo). Not that xp/mac/glass/rounded/what-ever-you-call-it thingy look. It looks a little ummm... unprofessional IMO. Just like a kid who first experienced beveling and gradients in photoshop hehehehe (no offense).

I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude. Just my point of view.

Messiah rocks! :buttrock:

yeah a gizmo! PLEASE lol.
i dont mind the edit sphere but man it would be so much easier switching between apps if i could just have the same type of move etc manipulator.
i dont mind the messiah look, it doesnt bother me. but if it gets pimped up i wont complain.
